Justin Iurman says:
====================
Support for the ip6ip6 encapsulation of IOAM
v2:
- add prerequisite patches
- keep uapi backwards compatible by adding two new attributes
- add more comments to document the ioam6_iptunnel uapi
In the current implementation, IOAM can only be inserted directly (i.e., only
inside packets generated locally) by default, to be compliant with RFC8200.
This patch adds support for in-transit packets and provides the ip6ip6
encapsulation of IOAM (RFC8200 compliant). Therefore, three ioam6 encap modes
are defined:
- inline: directly inserts IOAM inside packets (by default).
- encap: ip6ip6 encapsulation of IOAM inside packets.
- auto: either inline mode for packets generated locally or encap mode for
in-transit packets.
With current iproute2 implementation, it is configured this way:
$ ip -6 r [...] encap ioam6 trace prealloc [...]
The old syntax does not change (for backwards compatibility) and implicitly uses
the inline mode. With the new syntax, an encap mode can be specified:
(inline mode)
$ ip -6 r [...] encap ioam6 mode inline trace prealloc [...]
(encap mode)
$ ip -6 r [...] encap ioam6 mode encap tundst fc00::2 trace prealloc [...]
(auto mode)
$ ip -6 r [...] encap ioam6 mode auto tundst fc00::2 trace prealloc [...]
A tunnel destination address must be configured when using the encap mode or the
auto mode.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
